CASTLE GARDEN IN 1850.

The usual experience is that such DER
wrought expectations are disappointed and
the popular idol falls too low, as he or she
had been raised too high But in Jenny
I.ind's case the cool and cautious critics con-
firmed the enthusiasm of the people, The
New York papers exhausted the terms Of
musical art in describing her voice. In its
next issue The New York Tribune said:
"We never heard tones which in their
sweetness went so far. They brought the
most distant and i'll seated auditor close to
her. They were tones, every one of them,
and the whole air had to take the law of their
vibrations. Song in her has that integral
beauty which at once proclaims it as type
for all, and is most naturally worshiped as
sucL by the multitude
The test piece of the evening was Jenny
Lind in Casta Diva; but the great public
put its most enthusiastic approval on her
single songs and most of all upon her famed
MARBLE T. their descendants of today it
seems incredible that her rendition Of this
should have produced such a furore; but the
few now living who heard still warm at the
recollection. At the close of the evenings
performance Mr.. Barnum announced that
Jenny Lnd's third of the gross receipts
amounted to SIC, 900, and an expression of
her feelings at the grand welcome by the
new world she donated the entire amount to
the chart les of the city-S3000 to the fire
department fund, 81, 900 to the Musical Fund
society, 500 each to ten asylums. The
cheering that followed may be imagined.
The singer was escorted to her hotel by an
immense crowd, and all her stay in New
York was continued ovation. Then fol
lowed her great tour of the country, and
after that her marriage to Otto Gollschmidt
In her ninety three regular concerts in this
country the receipts had BEEN S10O,000; and
at the Boston sale Of first seats Ossian f.
Dodge, himself singer of some note, outdid
Genin by paying 1928 for the first choice of
seats.
Jenny Lind was born in Stockholm, capital
of Sweden, in 1920, and was early left an
orphan. The working woman who cared for
her often had to leave her in their room alone
all day while the former went to her tasks
One day a lady was passing along the narrow
street and heard asingularly sweet voice, that

Railroad Accidents.

This thing of two passenger trains
crashing into each other, after vaiuly
trying to pass each other on the same
track, is getting very monotonous.
The other day, near Tiffin, Ohio, a
drunken freight crew got their train
an the way of passenger train, and
the result was an accident attended
with fearful loss Of life. The conductor
and engineer of the freight train have
skipped to avoid lynching. The very
next day two similar accidents oc
Cured 10 the West, both resulting in
the killing of several people, and it
looks very much as if the verdict will
be nobody to blame" To vary the
monotony of killing. two passenger
trains collided at Chicago or the 9th,
and. although the cars were filled with
passengers, nobody was killed and but
a few slightly injured. Right on the
heels of this, however, comes the news
from Russell, Kansas, that two men
were killed in a railway accident
Thursday afternoon. The evident
remedy for all this killing is that train
men should regard their instructions
with great care. and that a level head.
ed man should be placed 10 the re.
spOnsible position of train master.

Another Railroad Horror.

On Tuesday morning of last week,
at about 2 o'clock. there was terrible
wreck on the Baltimore & Ohio r. r.
near Republic, o. A passenger train
collided with an eastern bound freight,
demolishing seven or eight cars, and
killing IS persons. besides mangling
and wonndiDg many others. The
wreck, bad as it was, was in a few
moments made worse, the cars taking
fire and burning up, roasting alive
men and women who were fastened in
the debris and could not extricate
themselves, and being in the night
little help could be got for some time.
The means and groans of the dying,
was, according to an eye witness,
heartrending in the extreme.

JOHN ROACH, foremost of American
shipbuilders aud one of the highest
types of the class designated as self
made men, died in N. Y. City, Mon.
day morning, 10th inst Humble of
birth, he started 10 life at The very foot
of the ladder, with no capital save
good health, strength, correct habits,
a thorough knowledge of the craft he
had selected by which to win bread
for him and his, industry, energy and
frugality. Step by step he advanced,
adding slowly to his possessions and
increasing his facilities until, arrived
at the prime of life, he stood at the
head of the shipbuilding industry Of
the country, and was possessed of
large fortune. He introduced many
marked improvements in naval archi-
lecture, and sent out come of the best
and feetest ships ever foated. AL.
though misfortune came upon him in
bis old age, sweeping away the results
of lifetime's hard work, DO dishon.
orable action clouded his record and
he leaves his family an untarnished
name. There is little doubt that Mr..
Roach's death was hastened by the
ill.fOrtune which fell upon him through
no fault or shortcoming of his own,
but came rather from the unwarrsnted
interference with his affairs of politi-
cal opponents. He will occupy a
prominent place in the history Of
American progress and industry, and
have moro honorable mention than
those who were the cause of his down.
